Your close, they are subspecies. Milk snakes are Lampropeltis triangulum, King has Lampropeltis gene. So yes very similar, but can have very noticeable differences.
Anyway.....Kathy dont worry about visitors! I would be delighted going to someones house and finding a snake! (finders keepers!)
Just keep looking, if your looking in a cupboard for something then dig a little further just to see if any sign. Is there any way that the snake could of gotten under floor boards, kitchen cupboards? Do you have an airing cupboard/boiler room? Thats another place to look!
I have a mate whos snake went missing for months, was found in a boxing glove, in a bag, that was in a box!
So there is hope yet! And because of the cold hitting, hibernation is a possibility so the snake might be a bit sluggish and groggy so might not go far! Fingers crossed!!!
